RIP Dorothy

Bea Arthur, Dorothy from The Golden Girls, died today. Sad times. I am sure that Lifetime will have a Dorothy marathon tomorrow so I should plan on Diana watching TV all day. This is sad, both Estelle Getty and Bea are now gone forever. Read more here: http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=405882&gt1=28103

Thank you for being a friend.

Not So Golden Today

Estelle Getty passed away today. She was old (84). She had been sick for quite a while. Of course, the reason this is important is because she was Sophia on Golden Girls. I think you all know what I think of Golden Girls (I know I have taken enough heat for this post). I am not going to take back my like (never said love) of Golden Girls.

Bummer that she died, now we will never get that Golden Girls movie!

Golden Girls

Why is it that Golden Girls is still so good? Some older shows are just horrible - but Golden Girls rocks. Diana and I were watching it and I just could not believe how funny/great it still was. I think I have seen every episode, but they are still fun to watch. Golden Girls has a pretty good formula. The girls talk in the kitchen, have a small fight, talk it out, everyone loves each other, end of show. The writers just gave Blanche and Rose different stories to tell in each episode and the girls fight about different stuff or different people each week. Back in the day making this show was like printing money. It is hard to believe that it was a number 1 show when it was on, but it was, and people still love it today. Don't tell me you are not singing the theme song to yourself right now.

Thank you for being a friend.
Travel down the road and back again.
Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant.

And if you threw a party, invited everyone you ever knew.
You would see the biggest gift would be from me.
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.
